Instant Pot Beef, Cabbage, and Rice

This Instant Pot recipe is super easy! Just brown the meat, throw everything else in the pot, and set the timer for 5 minutes! It took about 35-40 minutes total (including prep time, coming to pressure, and releasing pressure). The best part- only one pot to wash! Woo hoo!

This is my version of the Ground Beef & Rice Shawarma recipe from Two Sleevers. I’ve never had Shawarma, (actually, I’d never even heard of it until it was mentioned in the Avengers movie), so I can’t compare it to a traditional shawarma recipe, but my whole family enjoyed it! If you don’t think you’d like the spices, change them up! I think this would be great with more of a stir-fry flavor too! Maybe instead of the spices listed below, just use salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and then serve with soy sauce! I think I’ll try that combo next time!

Ingredients:

1tablespoon oil

1poundground beef or ground turkey

1cupdiced onion (I used frozen onions to save time!)

5cloves garlic

2 teaspoons kosher salt

2 teaspoons oregano

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1.5cups jasmine rice- rinsed

1.5cups broth

16 oz bag of shredded coleslaw mix

Directions:

Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot and turn it on high. When it’s hot, add the oil. Add the meat, and cook a few minutes, stirring and breaking it up with a spoon. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and spices. Stir well.

Add the rice, broth, and coleslaw. Secure the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
